GREEN BAY – The Packers have listed cornerback Jaire Alexander (shoulder/ankle) and receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's NFC Wild Card playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Running back AJ Dillon (thumb/neck) is doubtful to play after not practicing this week.

Alexander hasn't practiced since injuring his ankle during Wednesday's jog-through inside the Hutson Center. Head Coach Matt LaFleur told reporters after practice Friday that the team will give Alexander up until gametime Sunday.

"We're just trying to give him up till game time to kind of figure it out," LaFleur said. "He'll legitimately be a game-time decision."

Watson hasn't played since injuring his hamstring last month against Kansas City. The 6-foot-4, 208-pound receiver had arguably the best game of his young career last year against Dallas when he caught four passes for 107 yards and three touchdowns.

"We'll see on Christian," LaFleur said. "A lot of it is going to be how he feels and where we're at with him."

Green Bay didn't issue a game status for 16 players who are expected to be available: linebacker De'Vondre Campbell (neck), receiver Romeo Doubs (chest), linebacker Isaiah McDuffie (concussion/neck), guard Elgton Jenkins (knee/ankle), running back Aaron Jones (knee/finger), tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney), center Josh Myers (neck), safety Jonathan Owens (knee), receiver Jayden Reed (chest), guard Sean Rhyan (elbow), safety Darnell Savage (shoulder), defensive lineman T.J. Slaton (knee/foot), linebacker Preston Smith (ankle), tackle Zach Tom (finger), linebacker Quay Walker (shoulder) and running back Emanuel Wilson (shoulder).

Dallas quarterback Cooper Rush (illness) was added to the injury report on Friday and is questionable to play.

The Cowboys didn't issue a game status for the following players who are expected to be available: cornerback Stephon Gilmore (shoulder), defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins (ankle), guard Tyler Smith (foot), defensive end Dorance Amstrong (ankle), safety Malik Hooker (ankle), guard Zack Martin (veteran rest), and tackle Tyron Smith (veteran rest).
